Knights of the Dinner
Table #1

The first issue of Knights of the Dinner Table (KoDT) #1, written and drawn by Jolly R. Blackburn, has a low print run but is also rare in high grade with most copies being in very fine condition at best.
This is reflected in the CGC grading census with the single highest graded copy at Near Mint (9.4) followed by a few VF/NM (9.0) copies.

The characters in KoDT started life as a filler cartoon strip in the role playing magazine Shadis in issue #2 in March 1990:

The strip itself is centered around a group of role-players hence the reference to the King Arthur legend in the title but changed to "Dinner table" as that is where many role playing games take place.

Below is an extract from the first strip in Shadis #2, subsequently reprinted in Knights of the Dinner Table: Tales From The Vault vol. 1, #1:

The comic reflects many humorous situations that the group get into during the role playing sessions such as misinterpretations like the appearance
of a gazebo:

Although rare, there are usually one or two copies of KoDT #1 on auction sites such as ebay so it is certainly possible to get a copy but getting a high grade copy could be a challenge.

[2] Most publishers don't disclose actual print run data and they may not know the exact numbers in any case due to inaccuracies of the printing process leading to overage/underage (it has also been common
practice to add 3-10% to the print run as cover against underage, spoilage and other damages). As well as distributed copies, there may be pre-press proofs (may differ from the main print run), spoilage (which
can lead to some error variants or comics being pulped), file copies, complimentary copies and other stock that is not distributed at the time. Any disclosed distribution data should be treated with caution as
this may not be totally accurate; note also limitations of the data: since around 2009, Diamond North America included most variants they distribute within its disclosed distribution data along with the standard
copies as one figure; also the data excludes distribution of the same English language copies outside North America (so, for example, UK distribution via Diamond UK is excluded). Estimates on this site are just
that and should be treated as a very rough guide only.
[3] Prices are just a guide and may be out-of-date so best to check other guides and realized sales from both auction sites and comic shops as well
for a more accurate measure of current value.
